Hookers Club – stash busters fall 2010

Posted in People of Satin Moon, Special Events, Techniques and Materials tagged , , , , , , , , , at 8:11 pm by satinmoon

Autumn leaves…not yet

but thoughts of Locker Hooked leaves are  piling up

With the new brochure published,

we are all excited and thinking about the fall classes.

I have been researching ideas  and free patterns from

Theresa Pulido.

with whom I was lucky to take a work shop  last year.

Currently, I am especially excited about her shaped ornaments, embellishments, and wall hangings.
” Trace the shape you would like and secure the edges of the canvas with a bead of glue. Use Quick Grip adhesive then finish the edges by whip stitching with ribbon or fabric strips and locker hook the shape as desired.

I also want to try her recommendation for fun combinations and

Hooking Lofty Rugs

”  by doubling up your locking medium. Rugs will feel thicker and loftier. Just thread an extra long strand of locking twine or yarn and leave the double strand in when you lock your loops. Use heavier twine or yarn and heavier fabric to achieve the thickness and weight you prefer. “

There will be SOOO much to explore and share in the Hooker’s Club!

Arley’s first  Hookers Club ( FREE) meeting will be on September 17

and will focus on creating a locker hook pot holder.

Quick , easy successful and fun.
